Welcome

We are an association who are passionate about bees and beekeeping in Stowmarket and the surrounding area. We are a branch of Suffolk Beekeepers’ Association (SBKA) and are affiliated to the British Beekeepers’ Association (BBKA)

All beekeeping enthusiasts, from beginners to experienced, are welcome in our community.

We offer training, courses, social events, as well as a club apiary where our members can benefit from hands-on beekeping experience in the local Stowmarket area.

With members boasting decades of experience and expertise, we are fortunate to have an incredible wealth of knowledge and support to call upon and share.

We are always thrilled to welcome new members!
